1.2 About Nero Video
Nero Video is a powerful editing and authoring program designed for both beginners and
advanced users. It allows you to capture, import, trim, and arrange your media. Two different
modes within the same interface allow you to choose between single-track and multi-track
editing. In the Express Editing mode, you can create projects fast and easily: Trim and
arrange your clips and add effects for great results in no time. For full control, use the
Advanced Editing mode with its multi-track timeline, even more effects, keyframes, and
much more.
With hundreds of video effects, themes, and a picture-in-picture effect generator, Nero Video
allows you to create pro-looking movies and slide shows. Use keyframes on your effects, or
create your own effect templates to give your projects a special look. Add transitions and text
effects to complete your projects.

When authoring your video projects, create chapter marks for a quick and easy navigation
on disc, and choose your favorite menu from the many 2D and 3D menu templates. You can
also create your own, fully customized menu before burning your project to disc or disc
image. Share your projects by burning them onto DVD-Video or Blu-ray disc. If you simply
want to share the main movie of your project, use one of the various export options such as
the Export to Web feature.
With Nero 4K video editing, you now have Ultra HD support on hand: import, edit and output
high-quality movies with this powerful feature.
Capture, edit, author, export when it comes to media, Nero Video is your tool for pro-
looking, great results!
1.3 Versions of Nero Video
Nero Video is available in different versions with a varying feature range. Depending on the
Nero product you purchased, your version of Nero Video may be limited and may not include
the full feature range.
Essentials or OEM software may also differ from the full version in a more or less broad
functional range. Note that the feature limitations of your Essentials version depend on the
co-contractor's choice.

2 Application Workflow and Interface
2.1 Working with Nero Video
The user interface for Nero Video consists of a main window with a header bar, the Drag
your files here area, and several selection lists. The order of the selection lists reflects the
general functional principle of Nero Video: input edit output (Capture & Import Edit
Create & Export).
Basically, working with Nero Video starts with the selection of a task on the Home screen.
You then complete the task by navigating through the different steps that are displayed in a
separate screen for each individual step.
Clicking the Help menu in the header bar opens a menu that offers the option of
accessing online help as well as viewing the version number and other
registration data.
To go to the next or previous screen, click the Next or Back button in the navigation bar. If
necessary, you will be prompted to save the project, as the changes you have made will
otherwise be lost.
A project consists essentially of four steps:
Selecting a task
Select what you would like to do by moving the cursor over the menu item.
Start screen
Application Workflow and Interface
Nero Video
12
This manual contains a chapter for each task that describes all of the steps required for its
completion.
Completing a task
Depending on the task, you will have to go through various steps until you reach the end.
Each individual step consists of a new screen. To help you to know where you are and what
you need to do, each screen comes with a name and a brief description. In addition, each
screen furthermore contains tooltips, detailed information, and explanations for the various
buttons, icons, and menus.
Both Undo and Redo buttons are available on screens in which you can perform different
actions. These buttons allow you to quickly undo or redo the last performed action. In this
way, you can try out a number of features in Nero Video risk-free without having to discard
the entire project if you do not like the change.
Content screen
For each screen, the manual contains a chapter in which all areas are described in detail.
Burning
Burning marks the end of a project. For this you should define the burning parameters and
click the Burn button. Depending on the type of project you are working on and the burner
connected to the system, a number of different entries are available for selection.

Burn Options screen
After burning
Once you have finished burning you can decide what you would like to do next: launch the
media player and view your project or create covers and labels for the disc using Nero
CoverDesigner. Of course, you can also save the project or start a new one.

2.1.1 Saving a Project
Once you have started working with your project, occasionally you may want to interrupt your
work, resume it at a later time, or burn it.
A project file (*.nvc) saves the project data information about file paths and
layout after you have started work on your project. This means that you can
interrupt your work at any time and resume the project at a later point or burn it on
disc. The contents of a project file can only be opened with Nero Video. The file
size of a saved project is significantly smaller than a disc image.
A Disc image (image file) is the precise picture of the project data to be burned.
You can burn the finished image as often as you like at a later stage, but it
requires just as much space on the hard drive as the project to be burned.
Application Workflow and Interface
Nero Video
14
As well as being burned to disc or as a disc image, some projects can also be
captured to hard drive folders, memory stick or SD card, provided there is enough
space.
To save a project, proceed as follows:
1. Click the Save button in the lower task bar of the main window.
The Save As window is opened.
2. Enter the desired file name in the File name input field and click the Save button.
You have saved the project and can open it again later to continue working on it or
burn it.
Nero Video does not allow you to start multiple projects within one project. You
can only create and edit projects one after another. Therefore, it is not possible to
load two project files (*.nvc or *.wlmp files) into one single project. If you have two
different projects that you want to combine, export one of them to a video file via
the Export button and add the resulting video file to the project which has not
been exported.
2.1.2 Opening a Project
To open a saved project, proceed as follows:
1. On the Home screen, select the desired project type by clicking the respective entry in the
Edit selection list (Open Nero Video Project or Open Windows Live Movie Maker
Project).
A window is opened.
2. Browse to the location where your project file is stored.
3. Select the project file and click the Open button.
The project is opened in the video editing screen.
You have opened an existing project and can now continue to edit it or burn it.

2.2.1 Tools
2.2.1.1 Erasing a Rewritable Disc
Using Nero Video you can erase rewritable discs, i.e. discs with the RW specification, as
long as your recorder supports this feature. Two erase methods are available for this
purpose:
Quick erasing does not remove the data physically from the disc, but instead only makes it
inaccessible by erasing the references to existing content. The data can be restored!
Full erasing removes the data from the disc by overwriting it with zeros. The contents cannot
be restored with conventional methods. Repeated full erasing increases the probability that
third parties will not be able to reconstruct the contents.
To erase a rewritable disc, proceed as follows:
1. In the header bar, select the Tools > Erase Disc menu entry.
The Erase Rewritable Disc window is opened.
The Tools options (Erase Disc, Disc Info and Finalize Disc) can be started from
the Tools menu in the header bar at any time.
2. In the top drop-down menu, select the burner in which the disc has been inserted.
3. Click the Erase button.
Application Workflow and Interface

The erase procedure starts.
Sometimes it can take a long time to erase a rewritable disc completely.
You have erased a rewritable disc.

To display information about a disc that has been inserted, proceed as follows:
1. In header bar, select the Tools > Disc Info menu entry.
The Disc Info window is opened.
The Tools options (Erase Disc, Disc Info and Finalize Disc) can be started from
the Tools menu in the header bar at any time.
2. Select the burner in which the disc has been inserted from the drop-down menu.
You have displayed information on the disc that is inserted.
2.2.1.3 Finalizing a Disc
Nero Video is available in different versions with a varying feature range.
Depending on the Nero product you purchased, your version of Nero Video may
